Not so blind date

Eien Fumetsu had actually enjoyed the ferry ride. He wasn't worried about this blind date TOO much, except that jun had old him this girl was 'wild' which meant she probably wasn't going to be terribly compatible. But it meant going to Alexandra and seeing this place. Then, at the last minute Jun and May had canceled and it would be a SINGLE blind date. But he'd come anyway. It was only polite. There were more people getting ON the ferry than off of it, so he was able to get moving with ease. After the touristy buildings, he passed a long stretch of trees and came out to see the place. Perkatory. He pauses at the door only a moment before he pulls the door open and looks inside. A Japanese woman with blonde hair ... couldn't be too many of them on this island.

April Kenichi  has her knees pulled up to her chest abit nervous... she continues to read her book .. War of the world . she is bitting her lip

Eien Fumetsu lets the door close behind himself and pauses only a moment to look around. A few blondes here. Moving to the counter, he orders a plain coffee and pays. While he waits for it, he turns and scans the light after work crowd closer. And then he sees the Japanese almond eyes looking at a book ... and freezes ... staring almost rudely and not hearing the counter person telling him his coffee is ready. Her? No way!

April Kenichi looks up from her book like daze hearing just words . she turns back and shes sees him ..HIM . she blind her contacted eyes her mouth gape open in shock and her cheek blush a bright red ..

Eien Fumetsu takes a step away from the counter when a voice, almost a shout brings him out of his trance. "SIR! Your COFFEE!" he turns and absently begins to apologize in Japanese, taking the cup and turning his body and attention back to the blond. He sees her blush and tries to recover his own self. He moves forward, looking at her. Then he sets his coffee down and bows deeply. "Yuki-chan...." he manages to choke out. He wasn't expecting HER ... The last time he had seen Yuki she had been in a bathrobe and he had slipped her money into her robe pocket ... without her knowing hed done it. He hadn't seen her in the five or six years since. he was expecting a friend of a friend April Kenichi.

April Kenichi just stare at her former companion.. Hoshi.. she blinks a coupla of times... looking around to she if there was someone else meant to come .. she looks at him embarrased "Hoshi.. ' she say in soft and shy manner.. she is trying to wrap her head around the fact that this Eien is her Hoshi.. 'Hai.. she say softly '

Eien Fumetsu hears the name he used for business half a dozen years ago and sighs softly. "I .... No ... My name .. my REAL name is Eien Fumetsu. I ... Hoshi was .. just .. my ... my host name." he was completely flustered. Of all the clients for him to meet ... he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, run or grab and kiss her.

April Kenichi nods 'oh .. she say softly. she looks down at her pedicured feet .then shly back . she was so embarashed but intrigue and slight relieve from seein her first.. "sorry ' she say soflty glad that he is speaking japanese and covering up their conversation to the room . 'Im Aprill.. she say soflty almost like she is intoducing herself for the first time..but with a tone to be grateful it was the man she has been seeing in her dreams for all these years.

Eien Fumetsu nods and bows again. "I .. I know. And I guess May told you I am Eien." he continues in Japanese and looks around. "May .. May I sit Yu .... April-chan." he can't let go of the -chan yet. Although in private .. all those years ago .. in bed . there was no -chan ... they had gotten that close ... or had they?

April Kenichi bows out of politeness and nervousnes .. 'Yes.. she say soflty .. please ' she looks down shyly show the reason .he called her with the suffix chan . her sweet and adorable nature .. 'yes May told that.. ' she thinks in her mind that she would have to have a talk with may.. if she can live after the embarrassement of tonight . Parts of her deep in her heart are very happy its her beloved Hoshi.. "

Eien Fumetsu sits on the ottoman next to her chair and looks at her, still not sure what to say. He reaches out towards her hand, and then takes his hand back to himself, politely. With his other hand he reaches for his coffee and sips. It IS awkward .. BEYOND awkward. "It IS good to see you again." he assures her. "Jun ... he did not know who i was ... when I was in school." he clears his throat and sips his coffee again. It's black .. not how he usually takes it, but he was in such a shocked state, he doesnt care. He searches. and stammers. "How was France?" is all he can come up with. "It ... really WAS France, wasn't it?" e knew even then she had probably lied about her name, as he had about his. Now he wonders ... what other lies lay between them.

April Kenichi blushes but smiles soflty .. see his own nervousnes.. 'Its great to see you again.. ' she say soflty look have sick but also excited . her hands abit shakey as she clutches her apparently first addition copy of her favorite book.. 'I didn know Jun either .. i didnt go to their school.. ' she say softy 'meet Jun here.. 'she say nervously 'welll not here here.. ' she continues nervously .. completely forgotten to order coffee something she loved alot. ' she blinsk 'it was nice.. abit lonely but nice.. ' she say soflty

Eien Fumetsu nods slowly. "I only met Jun ... when I came to Canada a little more than a month ago." he tells her. "It was May ..." and he stops .. May remembered him from his Host club days. "I ... I am a chef now. Sushi. And a couple other jobs." he tells her. He sips his coffee, trying to relax and winces as his tastes buds recover from the shock. "Ugh ... can I get you a coffee?" he asks her.

April Kenichi perks up abit  'May. yeah .. i took her out for her birthday .. back then ' she say blushing.. 'got hooked ' she say soflty 'oh nice she say with geniune interest 'i love sushi ' she say eyes lighting up with it signature way when she is geniune interest . 'please.. she say soflty 'i got to interested into my book and forget .. she recovers from the shock.. 'i think.. you remember what i like.. she then blushes .. remembing all the 'private dates some to maid and pet cafes'

Eien Fumetsu smiles and nods. "I remember that party." he murmurs, but is glad when she changes the subject even slightly. "I had to make money while I went to school so ..." he nods at her and listens to the rest. "So you really like Science Fiction." hed seen various books of hers in the past. He stands. "I remember." and he is compelled to bend over and whisper, a bit hoarsely, into her space. "Mocha with cream." and he quickly straightens and moves to the counter and switches to English to order. "One mocha latte cap with extra whipped cream, and a white mocha with chocolate sprinkles."

April Kenichi smiles and laugh softly also remember the party her laugh almost fairy like.. ' that was so much fun ' she smiles. she nods so happy to be with him again but slight feeling tense with remember that she used to pay him but recover trying to let that go and enjoy herself . ' I love it .. no one would guess with me lookign like some party girl . 'she chuckles ' i get some looks at bookshops.. most like im lost or something ' she say soflty laughing . ' she nods 'aww.. you member . she say blushing looks down then back at him .. 'yep mocha with cream ..she blushes

Eien Fumetsu pays for the drinks and brings them back to their space. He sets his down and offers her hers. "I remember. You always seemed a little awkward at the parties. When you came alone we would just sit in a corner and talk." it was strange. She did not get drunk lke so many, but drank enough not to annoy the management, just not alcohol. He pauses and sits again. "I forgot nothing about you, April-chan." he swallows "Or should I be calling you Kenichi-san. I ... don't know which. I know you ... but I don't know you, do I?"

April Kenichi smiles and shrugs abit 'i never got used to parties still dont ' she say soflty 'but some like me in my social standing is expect to be there or its rude ' she say softy .. as long as i was there .. i was just seem like being social ' she say soflty ' no please .. she say soflty .. please call me April chan  ' she looks at him with a smile that extend and radiates in her eyes.. ' I like how you say it ' she smiles ..

April Kenichi politely recieves hers sips immediately out of earnest

Eien Fumetsu nods. He understands how those circles work, although he was never in one, no even as arm candy. Not his kind of Gaijin. "Then April-chan." he sips at his coffee again. "SO you are the girl I knew .. only the name was different?" he wonders and pauses, taking anther sip. "Were..." but he cuts the question off. He is not that much like Jun .. not yet at least.

April Kenichi nods 'still the same ..  'she trails off awkardly  'promise that .. i'm sorry if it seem i trick or mislead you .. I just had to us another name.. you understand.. right ' she say very apologetically

Eien Fumetsu shakes his head. "No ... I did not use MY name either .. the club did not allow it." he excuses her and apologies or his own part. "I just ... school never came up because .. my job was to entertain you." he blinks and looks away at his shoes. "I don't mean it like that." she was the job ... at first ... "Kirito told me I should not go on private dates wit you. You were the only one I ..." he trails off again, his dark skin hiding his blush. He drinks more of his coffee to hide it.

April Kenichi looks over ' we all had to hid our name . society and all ' she say soflty . she smiles at you her grin reassuring you 'i know by the end.. you and were more then just the job .. she say soflty 'she looks down 'Kirito was only trying to protect you .. like he protects his ownself.. ' she says softly blushin g.. "i know.. ' she say soflty 'i guess our hearts knew what we didnt. or tried to on conceal .. ' she say soflyt sip her coffed 'you cant hide from your heart .. for too long..

Eien Fumetsu sits his coffee mostly to his mouth. "In he end. Thats why the money ... that last night ..." hed slipped it back in her robe pocket as hed hugged her goodbye. "I quit a year after you left." he whispers and then she talks of the heart. "Not for long...." he agrees and drinks, gulping. "Do you live here now?" he seems to change the subject. "Or are you only visiting Jun and May?

April Kenichi: she smiles 'but you didnt even know Kirito birth name.. ' she say soflty .. 'or maybe even he has forgotten it .. "  she chuckels . . she thinks back to that last night .. 'yeah. i noticed.. my robe pockets were abit heavier.. she say softly .. 'i didnt say anything .. ' she say soflty . nods 'she smiles looking at him . drinking him in 'i live her now .. got a cute little place in a remodeled old hotel.. turned apartment complex with a fabulous Greek restaurant

Eien Fumetsu shrugs. "At the Club .. we were all brothers." he nods and swallows as she mentions her place. "Lets walk." he suggests. He stands and offers her his hand. "I saw a beach as I got here." even using Japanese .. there were so many people around it was uncomfortable to talk for him.

April Kenichi smiles at him noding and follow 'sounds fun .. ' she beams at him looking at him so glad to be back in his presence

April Kenichi places her own small hand in his

Eien Fumetsu takes her hand and heads for the door, holding it for her to exia dn turning towards the beach, even though the sun is rapidly setting.

April Kenichi grabs tightly as she walks with him enjoying being basked in the sunset and in his presence again

Eien Fumetsu walked them to the beach and found, to his delight, several blankets seemingly laid out for public use. he kneels and tests it with his hands to see if it was dry and, being so, he nods for her to sit with him. He sits and lays back on his arms, looking at the water, but still being stoically silent, as he often did when he had things on his mind.

April Kenichi lays down belly first rest her arms on her book and looks up at you and giggls soflty 'you havent change .. Eien. kun she say solty .. looking at you smiling and searching youre face abit

Eien Fumetsu snaps a bi out of his reverie. "What?" he wonders, finally looking at her. He loves being with her again and yet ... he still wonders about so much.

April Kenichi shakes her head .. 'just like looking at you wondering what your thinking when you do that . ' she smiles .. she reaches out tentative for  his hand smiles '

Eien Fumetsu takes her hand again and hides the thrill it gives her. But no one is around them. March was still a bit cold that way. "I was thinking ..." he begins and is tempted to leave it at that. But it would not be good enough for this woman. "Were you really... he cuts himself off and tries again. "Was I really....." and he tries again. "I know you told me you ...." he throws himself flat on his back and growls. "I cannot talk around you." he complains.

April Kenichi looks at you .  know what he trying to say from being with him  'yes i was.. reallly .. and it was amazing . ' she pets his hand softly 'its ok .. i think i know what your tryin to say .. ' she smiles trying to reassure him . she tries to pick up from his body language what his mouth cant say carefully observing him

Eien Fumetsu looks at her and nods once. "Good." he says, almost shortly. "That ... it was amazing .. for me too." hed felt her barrier ... but he wanted to be sure .. in light of .. their now. he bends his arm and will touch her face if he is allowed in the gloaming. "It's been so many years but .. it is still .. amazing."

April Kenichi smiles and caresss int his face lovigng the feelin of his hand on her cheek 'it was amazing .. i thank you for it.. im glad it was you ' she looks down then at him again 'all these years and i still member each moment like it was yesterday

Eien Fumetsu flushes and looks to the left and the right and finally at her. "I feel the same." he murmurs, still on his back, he opens his arms silently to her.

April Kenichi crawls over to him and grabs onto his torso tight like she never wanted to let go . 'me too .. it feels like its just the morning after or evening after our last time .. ' she say softly buring he cheek in his strong chest

Eien Fumetsu wraps is arm around her and pulls her close silently. He looks up at the dawning stars in the clear cold sky. "It ... could be .. different now ..." he tells the stars .. or perhaps April. "I am no longer a Host. No more paying for ..." and he tightens his arm around her in a hug suggesting all she once paid him for. Hed begun it, hadn't he .. by buying her coffee.

April Kenichi smiles sighing content as she snuzzle into yo .. 'i honestly was only doing that .. cuz i didnt know if .. welll .. ' she trails off 'but it turn out well ..its a new start . she say softy clinging onto as its starts to get chilly .. '

Eien Fumetsu looks at her. "If what?" he asks her, starting to be comfortable enough to be slightly bold. "That I would not date you except with a 'private date?" he laughs softly. "April-chan. I felt the same. I was ... nothing ... black gaijin. You are rich. Japanese ... " he sighs. "Kinto told me that almost every day and five times on nights he knew i had a private date with you."

April Kenichi chuckles softy 'i guess we both were feelign the same way .. but i almost knew instantly but i didnt know if that was just the host in you or really you .. ' she say ofllty

Eien Fumetsu sighs deeply. "Both, April-chan." he tells her. "I never date people from work .. customers or employers. Because I have to be nice and kind and I do not know if they like me or the ... my work face." like the public face and private face of the Japanese man.

April Kenichi: nodds 'we will just have to rediscover each othe ' she say laughs .. she absentmindedly runs her hand along his torso like an automatic reflect for being in his arms.

Eien Fumetsu rubs the small of her back. "As long as you are alright with that." he moves is hand and toucher her chin. If she looks up he will say. "No more paying." and he will try and kiss her.

April Kenichi smiles and accepts the kiss 'deal '' she smiles . her body snuggling closer to him as his lips and hands graze her body

Eien Fumetsu kisses her softly at first, as is lips begin to remember her. The breeze makes his shiver. SO he breaks the kiss. "Are you cold?" he asks her. "We can go back inside ... get you warm."

April Kenichi blushes .. its late.. 'we could go back to my place.. she snuggles with him 'im warm with you though ' she say as if giving him a way out

Eien Fumetsu pauses only a moment. "I ... do not have to work tomorrow ...." he murmurs. "I don't get those much ...." he runs his finger along her jawline. "I would like you to .. make me some tea. To warm me." is as suggestive as he gets ... when he isnt being paid to be seductive.

April Kenichi giggles softy ' i think can do that 's he giggles . she stands to take his hand to lead him to her apartment
